No, you cannot borrow my iPhone. And here's why.
It's flu season again and it seems like the biggest carrier of germs could be that sleek little smartphone you just can't live without.That's right. Personal touch-screen devices like iPhones, iPads, Droids and BlackBerrys carry more germs than a toilet in a subway bathroom, according to a study published in the Journal of Applied Microbiology.
And that's not even the half of it. The study also found that these devices are so good at spreading viruses, that sharing them may be as bad as sneezing in someone's face.
Awesome! What a great excuse to be inexcusably stingy with the greatest $200 I've ever spent!
The person who should be most concerned about this: my beautiful wife. So she can check her email, she has asked to borrow my iPhone at least 100 times in the three weeks since we've been hitched.
Because I love her so much, I routinely pause whatever app I happen to be playing at the time so she can do so. But now, because I love her so much, I will have to tell her to just pull out her laptop. You wouldn't want me to sneeze in your face, now would you, honey?
